Systemic issue in journalism. The actual reporting breaks down to a one liner; “mayonaise less popular with younger generations, increasingly diverse choice of condiments instead”, but that doesn’t generate revenue
It should be, “mayo like all foods in younger generations isn’t as popular because their palates haven’t gotten to that point yet”.
This is the level of journalism now… complete shit. You’re tastes change over time…so this generation magically hates mayo now? Might as well say this new generation hates their greens.
Millennials are in their 30s. I don’t think it’s due to palates not having developed. I think it’s more to due with just using a more diverse set of condements. I don’t dislike mayo (though I do despise Miricle Whip), but I don’t use it very often. I tend to go for other flavors. If anything, I think it’s the older generations who have an undeveloped palate. They tend to eat a much smaller variety of flavors/styles.
That article wasn’t about millennials, it was about genz. A lot of condiments have a mayo style base though.
Also hater of miracle whip…shit is terrible. Mayo is king.
Huh. The headline in the OP says millennials.
I do like a good mayo or mayo-based sauce though, yeah. However, growing up I remember my parents putting miracle whip (and calling it mayo) on a lot of things, and I hated it. I definitely don’t use it to the level they did. It’s good, but there are other condiments.

It’s the same issue for recipe blogs. Everyone hates all the filler, they just want the recipe. But having a page with just a recipe does not jive with search engines so people will never see your blog unless you write the filler.
